Stormwater and Erosion Control for Construction
This course enlightens you about stormwater and erosion control, focusing on Best Management Practices (BMPs). It is particularly relevant to employees in the construction industry who are involved in the development and execution of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Programs (SWPPPs) as part of the permitting process.
Rainstorms and melting snow can carry pollutants such as sediment, oil, grease, and other chemicals, resulting in contaminated runoff. This runoff can directly or indirectly pollute our lakes, rivers, and streams. Hence, stormwater contamination prevention is crucial for maintaining clean water for diverse uses, such as swimming, fishing, and drinking. The federal law in the U.S. necessitates construction sites to secure stormwater permits if the project will disrupt an acre or more of land. This course, Stormwater and Erosion Control for Construction, discusses the Best Management Practices (BMPs) for controlling stormwater and erosion. Construction industry personnel are the ideal candidates for this course.
This web-based Stormwater and Erosion Control for Construction course encapsulates the subsequent topics:
- Construction Phasing
- Specific Control Techniques
- Construction Entrances
- Preserving Natural Features
- Monitoring
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Identify methods to manage stormwater and erosion
- Elucidate particular techniques for stormwater and erosion control
- Differentiate between sites with effective and ineffective stormwater and erosion control measures
